    57 doesn't look like a man

    Both Jiang Xue and Jin Jing came to Yunnan for the first time. This time we don¡¯t have time to go to tourist attractions. Our plan is two days.  We all squeezed in time and had no travel plans.

    In the evening, Chen Zhihui specially came to the hotel to treat us to dinner. He said, since we had vegetarian dishes at noon, we will treat you to meat dishes in the evening.  He asked us if we could eat spicy food. I don¡¯t know if Jiang Xue can eat it. We and Jin Jing Liu Hai can both eat spicy food.  Jiang Xue said that she can also eat spicy food.

    Chen Zhihui said: "Then invite you to a Dai restaurant for dinner."

    He drove us to a very stylish place, where there are small bridges and flowing water, surrounded by bamboo forests, which is quite rural.  The male and female waiters here all wear ethnic minority costumes. Chen Zhihui said that they are all of the Dai ethnic group.  Chen Zhihui is very knowledgeable. He introduced to us: Dai people mainly live in Xishuangbanna area.  There are beautiful mountains and rivers, a mild climate, abundant rainfall, and large tropical virgin forests.  Precious wild animals live in the forest. Big Asian elephants and beautiful peacocks are the "residents" here.

    The Dai people are mainly engaged in planting.  Dai villages are composed of bamboo buildings.  Most of the bamboo buildings are two-story, with a beautiful style. The upper floor is for people to live in, and the lower floor has no walls, and is used to store sundries or keep livestock.

    The major festivals of the Dai people are the New Year of the Dai calendar¡ªWater-Splashing Festival, the Festival of Living in Summer (Closing the Door), and the Festival of Living in Summer (Opening the Door)

    The Dai Water-Splashing Festival is in the middle of March in the lunar calendar, which coincides with the June of the Dai calendar. It is the beginning of the year in the Dai calendar, so the Water-Splashing Festival is equivalent to our Spring Festival.

    During the Songkran Festival, the Dai people will go to Buddhist temples to pay tribute to the Buddha, while young men and women will wear beautiful clothes and go to the streets to splash water on each other to play.  According to the customs of the Dai people, splashing with clean water can wash away the dirt of a year, and wish good luck for the future.

    Dai opera originated from the Dai singing and dancing performances and Buddhist scriptures with certain characters and plots. Later, it absorbed the artistic nutrition of Dian opera and shadow puppetry, and gradually formed a relatively complete form of opera.

    The Dai people take rice as their staple food, and the most distinctive thing is rice in bamboo tubes.  The production method is to put fresh rice into a bamboo tube, add water, and grill it on the fire. It tastes fragrant and delicious.

    After Chen Zhihui said this, we have a general understanding of some customs and habits of the Dai people.  Dai cuisine is really spicy.  Jiang Xue and Jin Jing sucked in their mouths.  Chen Zhihui was afraid that we might not get used to some snacks of the Dai people, such as ant eggs and some insects.  I ordered some fish, meat, and some vegetarian dishes.  He asked if we would drink or not, and I said no.  But bangs to drink.  I said, don't drink it.  After dinner, we went to Dianchi Lake for a walk.  Jin Jing and Jiang Xue have never been to Yunnan, so let's go to Dianchi Lake.

    At night, there are still many people on the edge of Dianchi Lake, and there are twinkling lights on the other side, looking very charming across the sparkling water.  Looking at the vast Dianchi Lake, I suddenly remembered that it was introduced in middle school geography books that Dianchi Lake is the largest plateau freshwater lake in the world.  I think, if it is during the day, we can row a boat in Dianchi Lake to experience the beauty of this plateau freshwater lake.

    I took out my camera and took pictures of each of them. Liu Hai said to Jin Jing, "Let's take a group photo together."

    Jin Jing said: "Then ask Mr. Chen to take a group photo for all of us."

    Chen Zhihui took the camera in my hand and took pictures of us.  After taking the photo, Liu Hai was a little unhappy, and walked aside alone.  I glanced at Jin Jing, not knowing what to say.  How did this dude Liu Hai become like this? He became more and more petite.  I heard Jin Jing muttering: You really don't look like a man!  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
